Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Novel - Chapter 1232

Chapter 1232: Xia Ruya Poisoned Someone?

The sudden twist of events caught everyone off guard.

Xia Ruya’s lips quivered together with her body. The two girls who had insulted Lin Yingxin were seated right beside her and hence, she dodged at the instant that Lin Yingxin leaped towards them, for fear that she would be implicated and embarrassed.

She totally didn’t expect that Lin Yingxin would leap towards them because she understood Lin Yingxin too well, and knew that she was just as pretentious as her. Hence, she was astonished by her reaction.

However, after recovering from the shock, she suddenly realized that it was very likely… that the person who had been poisoned with jimsonweed was Lin Yingxin.

Although she was in disbelief at first, she managed to convince herself that it was true in the end.

It must be. Because jimsonweed is the only thing that would result in a pretentious person breaking out of character and throwing a maniacal tantrum in front of everyone else.

That explains why Wen Xinya didn’t get poisoned and has even managed to defeat Lin Yingxin.

It’s because Wen Xinya wasn’t poisoned at all. The one who got poisoned is Lin Yingxin.

This is a trap that I had laid for Wen Xinya, but the person who ended up falling into it turned out to be Lin Yingxin instead. What exactly went wrong? How did things turn out this way? Her mind was in a state of frenzy and she could not keep her cool at all.

At this moment, Xia Ruya was overwhelmed with a sudden ominous feeling which seemed to have drowned her. Just as she was at a loss for what to do, she suddenly felt as if there was a large, cold and venomous snake coiling around her, making her feel suffocated.

She raised her head and made eye contact with the menacing Lin Yingxin, who looked like she was about to devour her.

“Xia Ruya, you bitch…” Lin Yingxin suddenly leaped towards Xia Ruya.

All of the heiresses there had never seen such a scene before and they were all scared soulless by Lin Yingxin’s behavior. They screamed at the top of their lungs and chaos broke out.

Of course, there were also some brave ones who had gotten themselves ready to gloat and watch the show.

Watching as the ferocious Lin Yingxin leaped towards her, Xia Ruya froze and fell onto the ground. Before she could even react, Lin Yingxin began beating her into a pulp while pinning her down.

Xia Ruya instinctively screamed and fell against a cold and hard rock which made her feel like her bones were about to come apart. The excruciating pain radiated through her body, making her feel as if she had sobered up. “You… what are you doing? You crazy woman!”

Crazy woman, crazy woman, crazy woman…

Those two words were the last straw that broke the camel’s back. The delirious Lin Yingxin flew into an uncontrollable rage and grabbed Xia Ruya’s hair forcefully before tugging at it and scratching Xia Ruya’s face with her sharp nails. Soon, Xia Ruya’s face was covered in scratch marks and daunting red welts. It was apparent how much Lin Yingxin hated Xia Ruya.

Xia Ruya frantically tried to cover her face but to no avail. She was no match for Lin Yingxin who could no longer care about her image. Xia Ruya shrieked. “Ah, you crazy woman, let go of me…”

The only thing that mattered most to Xia Ruya apart from reputation, was her appearance. She had always been proud of her beauty and placed a lot of emphasis on skincare and dolling herself up. She would also make use of her good looks to achieve many of her agendas. Yet, her beauty was now being ruined by Lin Yingxin. No woman would be able to take it, let alone Xia Ruya. Hence, she also lost control of her emotions and began fighting with Lin Yingxin.

The two of them got into a heated scuffle while everyone surrounded them and watched on. They stood rooted to the ground, unable to recover from the shock.

Lin Yingxin yelled at Xia Ruya, “Xia Ruya, you bitch. What rights do you have to say that of me? If it weren’t because of you, I wouldn’t have ended up in such a pathetic plight…”

Xia Ruya’s heart sank.

The host finally realized what was going on. She frantically ordered the waitresses to step in and pull the two girls away from each other. The scuffle was undoubtedly going to be a piece of negative news that would ruin her reputation as well as that of the gala. Who else would dare to join the future galas? If Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin were to get hurt, she would have to bear the responsibility since she was the organizer.

Most importantly, she also had to stop Lin Yingxin from attacking Xia Ruya and revealing anything that would harm the reputation of Xia Ruya or the gala.

The waitresses scrambled towards Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin. When they ran past Du Ruoxin, Du Ruoxin suddenly stuck her leg out, causing one of the waitresses to trip and fall onto the ground. The other two then lost their balance and fell onto the first waitress.

At this point, Lin Yingxin had completely lost control of her rationality. “Xia Ruya, it’s you. You were the one who harmed me. You were the one who duped me into cooperating with you to plot against Wen Xinya. You were the one who told me that Wen Xinya is only good at the zither and brewing tea and that I would get to climb the social ladder as long as I defeat her. You were the one who told me that you knew the owner of Boya Pavilion. You spiked Wen Xinya’s snacks and tea and you said that that would make it impossible for Wen Xinya to win…”

As soon as the owner stood up, she heard Lin Yingxin’s words and staggered forwards, almost falling onto the ground. She did not expect that Lin Yingxin would implicate her in the end.

At the same time, Lin Yingxin’s words had also caused an uproar.

Everyone was reminded of the controversy revolving around Wen Xinya lately, followed by the rumors of Lin Yingxin setting up Ye Yunyao just to bring herself a greater reputation. After thinking about the zither showdown that Lin Yingxin had invited Wen Xinya to, they began to believe Lin Yingxin’s words.

Also, Wen Xinya was poisoned? What was jimsonweed?

Everyone could not help but feel frightened after hearing about jimsonweed which was obviously a harmful agent.

Lin Yingxin’s words made Xia Ruya shudder from head to toe. She then grew weak and exhausted all of a sudden. Xia Ruya screeched in disbelief. “You… you… you’re just falsely accusing me.”

Even if Xia Ruya had incredible talent, she wouldn’t be able to come up with an innocent excuse to defend herself against the truth that Lin Yingxin had revealed, especially since they were in the midst of a brawl.

Shock was written all over her face as if Lin Yingxin’s words were extremely unbelievable. However, she forgot that her face was already covered in red and bloodied scratch marks. Hence, her expression would not be obvious.
